Tom: F#m
Bm Gbm Bm
Meet me on the log jam on Kerosene Creek
Bm Db
Where the forest lies waiting in a heap
Bm Gbm Bm
The logs rub together and it burns for weeks
Bm Gbm Bm
And the black clouds choke you while you sleep
D Gbm Bm
On the God-forsaken plains in the middle of the west
Db
There's a town called Yodel-ay-hee Hole
Bm Gbm Bm
You get there by hopping from crest to crest
Gbm Bm
Of the amber waves as they roll
[Chorus]
Bm Gbm Bm
How can a man ride the back of a horse
Db
When he can't suck the breath from a cat?
Bm Gbm Bm D
The answer is found as a matter of course
Bm Gbm Bm
Once you drop your drawers and hop in the vat
[Verse 2]
Bm Gbm Bm
A gladiator raider went hunting in the swamp
Bm Db
Brandishing a lariat and maul
Bm Gbm Bm
He bumped into a gator and the gator went "chomp"
Bm Gbm Bm
And swallowed him, chariot and all
D Gbm Bm
In a tavern by a canyon down in Guillotine Gulch
Db
A miner 49er drinks a shot
Bm Gbm Bm
The night before he shoveled up a talking skull
Gbm Bm
That brainless bone said "I don't think, therefore I'm not"
[Verse 3]
Bm Gbm Bm
If your dander is up and you're feeling quite bold
Bm Db
Then do a chorus line kick in the sleet
Bm Gbm Bm
But if dancing on ice seems too frightfully cold
Bm Gbm Bm
Then wear a nice pair of wigs on your feet
D Gbm Bm
I'm like an ox in your china shop shack
Db
Knocking plates on the floor when I curtsy
Bm Gbm Bm
My tutu is tight and it rides up my back
Gbm Bm
And it tangles my teacups and hurts me
[Chorus]
Bm Gbm Bm
How can a man ride the back of a horse
Db
When he can't suck the breath from a cat?
Bm Gbm Bm D
The answer is found as a matter of course
Bm Gbm Bm
Once you drop your drawers and hop in the vat
Bm Gbm Bm D
Yes, the answer is found as a matter of course
